I am afraid that you didn't know that external hardrive need special USB cable, because of the high power consumption. Even the connectors are the same, but the cable for external hardrive is different.
You can try this cable with other device such as camera, mp3 player and I bet it works

As for what Hom3r suggests, that may hold water as the cable is 5 feet long.
Does anyone know where can I find the specs for USB cables used for external disks (Google didn't help much) ?
